Episodes available on all major podcast platforms
WASHINGTON, D.C. — iHeartPodcasts and Novel has announced the launch of The Girlfriends, in collaboration with NO MORE, a global nonprofit dedicated to ending domestic and sexual violence.
The podcast tells the true story of a group of women who formed a club to put a murderous ex-boyfriend behind bars. The story illuminates the ways women unite to protect each other when systems of justice fail them. Distributed by iHeartPodcasts, you can listen to the audio trailer here and on all major podcast platforms
Unlike your typical true crime, The Girlfriends is not about the murderer, Bob. It’s about his wife Gail, and the other women who dated him that could have suffered the same fate. It’s about Gail’s sister Alayne, who never gave up the fight for justice. It’s about the gratitude she felt when she learned that a sisterhood of women in Las Vegas and New York were on her side.

Hosted by Carole Fisher, one of ‘The Girlfriends’, the series is hard-hitting, but also empowering and galvanizing, with heart-warming moments. Set to an original choral score by Luisa Gerstein from Deep Throat Choir, women’s voices are at the center of this true justice series. While hosting this groundbreaking podcast series, by day Carole is also the senior advisor of a leading health care firm in Washington, D.C., Healthsperien, LLC.
At Healthsperien, and throughout her career, her focus has been on a variety of social impact issues, which are issues including everything from end-of-life care and hospice to domestic and sexual violence. The podcast’s launch in the United Kingdom earned a ranking of #38 of all podcasts Globally, and #44 of all podcasts in the United States.

The Girlfriends has teamed up with the global nonprofit organization NO MORE to ensure the podcast goes beyond the usual true crime offering, and instead can be a useful resource for educating and providing help and guidance to all those impacted by domestic and sexual violence.
“We are proud to partner with iHeartPodcasts and Novel to raise awareness of domestic violence and help survivors find the support they need. At NO MORE, we strongly believe that media and entertainment can play an important role in changing the culture that has allowed the epidemic of domestic violence to persist. We’re grateful to iHeartPodcasts and Novel for using this powerful story to help fuel real and lasting change.”
